Dragon Nest is an upcoming fantasy MMO published by Nexon and developed by Eyedentity games. Set to feature real-time dynamic combat with chain attacks and more, Dragon Nest concerns the tale of the poisoned Goddess Altea, and the heroes who gather in the land of Lagendia to fight to save her by battling invading hordes of enemies, including dragons, and finding magic stones for an antidote. One of the game’s most salient features is the ability for a player character to learn to transform into a dragon.

Dragon Nest’s dungeons are randomly generated, as are the assortments of creatures met inside. PvP options will include guild vs. guild battles, single-player, and even a mode that pits players as dragons in a struggle to protect the territory.

The proprietary Eternity Engine is being touted as delivering small file sizes with lush graphics that allow for older and slower computers to join in on the action in a persistent world. As with Nexon's other games, Dragon Nest will be free to play and item-shop supported.

At the end of the 21st century, the continuing exhaustion of Earth's resources sparked a furious struggle for dominance, ultimately leading to all-out conflict. Billions perished as the Final Wars raged across the globe.

As nations crumbled and civil society was in its death throes, one of the super-nations that actually started the conflict devised a plan to win the war by simply outliving its rivals. This resulted in the creation of The Continoma Project – a massive, self-sufficient mind database capable of storing the memories and thoughts of humans. The leaders of the super-nation that created Continoma ensured their entry within the database and brought with them the seeds of what they believed was a thriving community of docile and loyal citizens.

Humanity outside Continoma Project all but destroyed itself – the great societies that once warred amongst themselves were reduced to nomadic tribes and eventually regressed to primal existence or simply died out, long before the irradiated and polluted world became habitable again. While life on Earth was going through its most dramatic extinction and adaptation, the Librarium – a nearly-indestructible fortress tended by artificial intelligence and robots – kept the dormant sentience of humanity’s chosen safe for the future.

Players find themselves immersed is a continuing power struggle between the leaders behind the Continoma Project, called the Continoma, and the Noir, an armed resistance group formed by a former Continoma leader. Their continuous struggle has weakened them considerably and even as they remain the two most powerful forces on Enterra, they depend much on the other smaller organizations for their survival and victory on the island.

Featuring a unique skill-based advancement system and player-driven economy, as well as extensive, meaningful player-vs.-player combat, Earthrise gives players innumerable choices to forge their destiny through its open, sandbox-style game mechanics. Whether a noble soldier in the raging conflict between the Utopia and the rebellion, a criminal hiding from the law, or a world-renowned engineer whose power extends into intricate trade and politics, players’ actions will echo throughout the game world.

This is also significant since player influence will play a huge role in shaping both Tera's economy and its community.
